if you think about that sony and microsoft get like 7 bucks royalties per sold third party game they will be very happy about these gta sales...

yeah, this is massive!

with vgchartz article here http://www.vgchartz.com/article/251317/grand-theft-auto-v-smashes-global-week-one-sales-record/

GTAV on the PS3 did 7.2 million units.

7.2 million * 7 USD = 50.4 million USD.

 

Beyond: Two souls costs ~27 million USD to produce... impressive!

Ehhhhhh... not quite.  Or at least not necessarily.  Console holder's fees are not a set figure.  $7 a game is typical, but publishers can negotiate for a better price.  When you have a game like GTA V you have some leverage to negotiate with.
